| Summary | "Earthwork Slips and Subsidences upon Public Works" by John Newman is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work addresses the frequent and costly issues of earthwork slips and subsidences that arise in the construction and maintenance of public works such as railways, docks, and canals. It aims to provide engineers and construction workers with insights into the causes, prevention, and repair of these engineering challenges. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the primary causes of earthslips and subsidences, highlighting the complexity and variability of the earth's composition and external influences. Newman discusses the interplay of natural factors—including weather and geological conditions—and human activities that can lead to instability in earthworks. He emphasizes the need for careful planning and site management, introducing the fundamental principles that should be considered to minimize the risk of slips, while also recognizing the inevitable challenges posed by nature’s forces.
